No. 56: Creation in Death

Creation in Death by J.D. Robb

This is one of the most recent in the In Death series. I have read all but the most recent release, I think there are 25+ books in the series. I really like it although I am always creeped out by the murderer part of the book - it is a series about a police homicide detective in the futhre (this one was 2060) and each book follows her attempts to solve a murder or series of murders. This one was a serial killer who tortured his victims. Those parts are always kind of scary and gross, but the way the crimes are solved is really interesting and the characters are really well developed and interesting.

If you want to read this series, it is best to start at the begining of the series because one of the best parts is to see how the relationships between the characters develops over time. Although, each book can be read independently because the mystery/crime in each one is interesting enough, even without the character relationships.
